that's a stephen colbert character? it's not the real stephen colbert. people hold congress in just disrespect already. they think it's a joke, then stephen colbert goes to congress in character and make those comments. i don't see how it helps democrats. it's a higher profile to an issue, but people see it as a comedy issue. >> here is more. take a listen. >> i have to ask. why isn't the government doing anything. maybe this add jobs bill would help. i don't know. like most members of congress, i haven't read it. >> what i don't understand, stephen colbert knows what he is doing. he didn't make a pretense he would be anything other than what he was. why were all the members of congress sitting there? why didn't he leave? >> i think it's a good question. conyers was giving the early warning signal. i'll not sure members of congress got what was going on. when he talks about entering the footage of his colonoscopy. it's reinforcing the negative opinions people have of congress. they are going to be surprised. it's going to have backlash against them. >> p
